Discover a new online resource for careers in science

Tuesday, June 13, 2017

If you're considering a career in biomedical sciences, it's
important to stay up to date with evolving trends in the science
industry.

The
journal Science, published by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS), has an online news center with a special science
career section. This resource can be especially useful for
finding career tips and learning more about the industry as a
whole.

The site includes a variety of information on workforce issues,
professional development and career-related policy. For example, a
recent article on the site discusses the National Institutes of
Health's Early
Stage Investigator (ESI) Policy and how it is helping young
scientists receive more grant funding.

You can also find columns written by practicing scientists with
practical tips on how to have a successful career in science. There
are a variety of
career options for biomedical science graduates. If
you're wondering how many biomedical science jobs are available
today, a job search tool allows you search for all new positions
related to science.

For example, we put the term "research" into the search engine
and pulled up 1,365 job listings in scientific research from around
the world. There's also a library of employer profiles, so that you
can get to know some of the larger employers in the science
industry.

You can even open an account on the site, post your resume, and
get up-to-date job openings emailed to you. Your account allows you
to make your resume and profile available to headhunters and
employers in the science industry.
